On a mission
The use of green hydrogen, produced from renewable energy sources such as wind power, represents a major leap in reducing the environmental impact of ammonia production. Unlike conventional methods, which rely on fossil fuels and contribute significantly to global carbon emissions, this process offers a cleaner and more sustainable alternative. The green ammonia produced at Velarion’s facilities will not only serve as a key ingredient in creating eco-friendly fertilizers but also act as a versatile energy carrier with potential applications in other industries, further enhancing its environmental benefits.
Project Torpshammar
One of Velarions hydrogen-based industrial clusters is located in Ånge municipality. This project, which is found in the heart of Grönsta just north of Torpshammar, will combine wind power with large-scale green hydrogen production to generate carbon-neutral products such as green ammonia and green urea. OX2 is developing the energy source for the project, a wind farm in Marktjärn, with an annual production capacity of 1.4 TWh. This green electricity will then power the hydrogen production unit that Lhyfe is installing with a capacity of up to 100 tonnes of green hydrogen per day (electrolysis capacity of approximately 320 MW).
The production and application of fertilizers (manure and synthetic) is yearly responsible for carbon dioxide emissions (in gigatonnes)

%Key partners
By collaborating with leading market players, Velarion takes the initiative to establish genuine circular industrial clusters. “We carefully select member companies for these clusters, prioritizing environmental and municipal considerations. Our approach enables the efficient utilization of by-products among cluster companies, ensuring that all parties involved work towards a common objective: producing high-demand, green, and fossil-free products profitably.” Velarion also partners with municipalities to attract talent to the sites once they are operational, addressing needs such as housing, infrastructure, and promoting the unique attributes of the specific municipalities. But it all starts with the access to renewable energy.
